Hey people,
I have always had bogwood in my tanks (the mopani wood from LFS), recently I put an old piece back in. This piece had been left to fully dry out a few months ago when I changed the tank around, once dry it was bagged up and stored.
Once this piece was put back in the tank, after about a week I noticed a cotton wool type fungus on some of the plants and on the gravel, and over the wood and rocks it was like a webbing that appeared to be spreading out.
None of the fish have been affected (think the loaches were eating it?!), does anbody know if the wood was the cause and how to cure it? I have heard that you shouldn't let it dry out once used.
Thanks,
bak2
